Things only got worse under the previous Monarchy, eventually resulting in a people's revolution, how can anyone claim that things would have got better if it wasn't for the Maoists? The Maoists would have had no support if things were to get better. Food production, Health care and education all suffered and the king's iron fist was implemented by killing his own citizens. If the King's role would only be ceremonial then who would rule through him? The proposal of a ceremonial Monarch is pointless, Nepal needs change not an icon to distract the people from their unfortunate fate.

Roddy, the king would be a ceremonial role. The problems Nepal faces at present was unheard of then. If king locked up people then, do you think present political parties are not doing the same? For a country like Nepal, it is necessary to rule with an iron fist. That is what the king did. Yes, we needed more freedom and things like that, but under the king, it would have come eventually. But look at the mess now, it is impossible for Nepal to come out of it. Indian origin people are wanting Hindi as a national language now, is that what you wanted too? Better one person(the king) loot Nepal than thousands in the name of politics. Things would have got better under the king had the Maoist insurgency not happened. The problem was conflict happened in Nepal when it was boom time in the world due to IT revolution. The King was not perfect, but much better than present crap politicians.

Raj, you claim things were better under the Monarchy, because if anyone dared to complain they would be locked up and disappeared? Or because the Monarchy treated so many Nepalese so badly that they were willing to take up the Maoists guns to defend themselves? Come on, look beyond your Kathmandu appartment and see the real Nepal. Much change was needed then and change is still needed now. What is the point of replacing elected adults with a single boy? How can a child save Nepal? You live in a dream Raj, come down to earth.

hey guys, do you even realise what mess nepal is in? it was so much better when king was there. did getting rid of the king end violence, corruption, impunity, etc? In fact all the problems have increased ten fold! Support baby king, and let monarchy be restored. God bless nepal.

What a moron this Baburam Bhattarai is. First of all, he doesn't know a thing about economics and yet he's the Finance Minister. He's the most ignorant FM in Nepal's history. Do you know Gorkha gets 24 hours of electricity a day? You know why? Because Baburam Bhattarai made that a campaign promise. He's your typical dirty politician but then he talks so big. Hey Bhattarai, how's the economy doing now? That's your area of expertise right? You're Finance Minister. So how's the economy doing? I'll tell you how its doing. Its doing like s--t. And you don't have a plan for tackling the economy so its all 'oh we'll go back to war'. Shut up, idiot Bhattarai and start governing or we WILL kick you out. Dumbass.

Why Mr Bhattarai you are annoyed by UML's action in Butwal. Your sick PLA do the same everyday as their routine task. Even there are police force but also your cadets roam around borders for exorting money from the people. Do you know what PLA members are the real terrorist of Nepal. All goons are admitted in your PLA. And what the hail you and Prachanda are murmuring again and again that you people will revolt, Go and do it if you have guts, don't bark as a dog again and again, hey guys someone tell them there is a popular nepali proverb "Buukne kukur le tokdaina". So stop barking. You will never go back to jungle because you all are now use to to the lavish lifestyle that you are experiencing through government funds.

Now a days its so funny to hear news well the Butwal issue of killing Prachanda Thaiva was worth for making demonstration by UML,I also read a news where a bunch of people obstructed rosd for mobile and telephone service not working in their area.Isn't it disgusting. This is long awaited New Nepal developed by Maoist by claiming 13000 lives of innocent(well this is official counted numbers real one would blow up ears).

To be a leader one must posses the majority qualities of a Leader, just like "A good woman should posses 32 Lakshans" isn't it? We saw so many Nepali leaders but with no qualities, very upsetting for us. We now think that we have no leaders of new generation with no corruption habits!! Poor Nepali

They are doing what maoists are reputed of doing, they will impose their will and will tolerate no resistance.

Again this idoit is treatening citizens. Really this man is mad gai. He is out of control.. Now citizens knows all his dirty tricks . Now i think he has no any logic and his communist philosophy might have finished. There left no thing to foolish the citizens and now he is going back to his old popular tricks to threaten the citizens.. telling" we will revolt". What these gaies have thought them selves. Do ,what you like but face consequences.

Stupid Bhattarai.We know you were terrorist but now You are FM of a country and should talk like a terrorist and do not dare to rule the country with bullets. The same Nepali people will show your root as they did in the past for Former king.

Actually Bhattarai has lost mental balance. He is using uncivilized words to others everyday. Control your dirty tounge.
